PRESENTATION TYPES

Paper (45 minutes) A paper is most effectively presented as an oral summary with occasional reference to notes or a text. A paper discusses and describes work that the presenter is doing or has done in relation to either theory or practice. The presenter often has handouts and may also use audiovisual aids. The description should include a summary of the paper.

Demonstration (45 minutes) In a demonstration, most of the time is used for showing, rather than reporting about a technique for teaching or testing. Normally the presenter’s statement of the theory underlying the technique takes no more than five minutes. The presenter usually has handouts and may also use audiovisual aids. The description should include a brief statement of the presenter’s central purpose and a description of the presentation.

Workshop (90 minutes) A workshop includes very little lecturing by the leader; the emphasis is, rather, on the participants’ activity which is carefully structured by the leader. The leader works with a group, helping participants solve a problem or develop a specific teaching or research technique. The description should include a statement of the goal and a list of the tasks to be performed during the workshop.

Colloquium (90 minutes) A colloquium provides both formal presentation and participant discussion. It is a forum for a group of scholars to discuss current issues in TESOL and for open discussion among all in attendance.  The organizer of the colloquium is responsible for securing the participation of co-presenters before submitting a proposal.  The description should include a synopsis of the issue(s) to be discussed as well as a brief schedule of the presentations and discussion time.
